Overview
The AXIAL Cap Head M3x20mm Black Oxide (10) Z-AXA088 is genuine Axial factory hardware designed for RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and precision in their builds. Whether you're maintaining your RC car UK collection, performing essential maintenance on your Axial scale crawler, or building a custom setup, these hardened fasteners are engineered to deliver consistent performance without compromise. Axial is renowned for producing authentic, high-quality OEM components that meet exacting standards, and this cap head screw set is no exception.
Cap head screws are fundamental to any RC car builder's toolkit. Unlike standard fasteners, these precision-engineered bolts feature a distinctive hexagonal socket that accepts a corresponding hex driver, ensuring a secure fit that resists slipping and stripping during installation and removal. For RC enthusiasts in the UK who take their hobby seriously—whether you're a weekend basher, a competitive racer, or a dedicated crawler pilot—having reliable fasteners is essential to keeping your vehicle in top condition and avoiding costly damage to components.
This ten-piece set of M3x20mm black-coated steel cap head screws represents exceptional value for money and the assurance that comes from using genuine Axial hardware. The black oxide finish not only provides a professional appearance but also offers enhanced corrosion resistance, making these screws suitable for both indoor and outdoor RC applications. Whether you're working on an Axial SCX10 II Deadbolt or another compatible vehicle, you can trust that Axial's precision-engineered fasteners will perform reliably, time after time.
Key Features
- Precision Hex Head Design — Each screw features a precision-engineered hexagonal socket that provides the best possible fit with your hex driver tool, significantly reducing the risk of stripping the screw head during installation or removal, which is a common frustration when using lower-quality fasteners.
- Genuine Axial Factory Hardware — These are authentic OEM components manufactured to Axial's stringent quality standards, ensuring compatibility and reliability across the full range of Axial RC vehicles and components, giving you complete confidence in your builds.
- Durable Black Coated Steel Construction — The screws are crafted from robust steel and finished with a black oxide coating that provides excellent corrosion resistance and a professional appearance, making them ideal for use in challenging outdoor conditions and preventing rust and degradation over time.
- M3x20mm Specification — With an M3 diameter and 20mm length, these cap head screws are precisely dimensioned for compatibility with Axial vehicles and many other RC applications, ensuring proper fitment and secure assembly without over-tightening or under-tightening concerns.
- Machine Thread Type — These screws feature standard machine threads, making them compatible with threaded holes and inserts commonly found throughout RC vehicles, allowing for repeatable assembly and disassembly without thread degradation.
- Ten-Piece Pack — This generous ten-piece set provides enough fasteners for multiple repairs, upgrades, and maintenance tasks, ensuring you always have spares on hand without the need for expensive emergency ordering.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL Cap Head M3x20mm Black Oxide screws are engineered with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting the high standards that Axial applies to all its factory hardware. Each screw is manufactured from premium-grade steel and finished with a durable black oxide coating that offers superior corrosion resistance compared to bare steel alternatives. The precision-machined hex socket head accepts standard metric hex drivers with exceptional tolerances, eliminating the frustration of poor fitment that can strip screw heads and waste valuable hobby time. The machine-threaded design ensures consistent engagement with threaded holes, providing repeatable assembly quality across multiple build and rebuild cycles. At M3 diameter with a 20mm overall length, these screws are proportioned perfectly for medium-scale RC applications and have proven compatibility with the Axial SCX10 II Deadbolt 4WD Brushed RTR, though they serve equally well across the broader Axial ecosystem and many other RC crawlers, buggies, and trucks. The black oxide finish not only provides a sleek, professional appearance but also delivers practical corrosion protection that extends the service life of your hardware, particularly important for UK RC enthusiasts who frequently operate vehicles in variable weather conditions.
